Application June 29, 1951, Serial No. 234,188 1 Claim. (Cl. 114-78) This invention relates to cargo carrying vessels particularly of the type carrying grain and similar products and wherein it is necessary to change the arrangement of the partitions or stanchions to accommodate diierent types of cargo, and in particular this invention includes a plurality of preformed structural shapes having channels in the sides designed to be vertically positioned between the decks and in the hold of a ship whereby permanent grooves or tracks are provided for holding the ends of planks or boards forming bulkheads or retaining partition in the ship.

The purpose of this invention is to provide supporting elements between the decks and in the hold of a ship whereby materials of which the partitions or walls are formed may be readily installed and also readily removed.

The conventional method of dividing the areas between bulkheads between the decks and in the hold of a ship dividing walls and partitions are constructed as required and when it is desired to use the ship for different cargo the walls and partitions are constructed as required and when it is desired to use the ship for diterent cargo the walls and partitions are removed and discarded. Considering the present cost of material and labor this process is very costly. With this thought in mind this invention contemplates an improved method of forming stanchions in the hatches, between the decks and in the hold of a ship whereby steel supporting stanchions or posts are permanently installed and whereby these structural shapes are designed to receive ends of temporary wall forming elements such as boards and wherein when it is desired to use a ship for cargo of a different type the boards may readily be removed without disturbing the structural shapes forming the stanchions, posts, and the like.

The obect of this invention is, therefore, to provide means for converting conventional columns and other supporting elements between the decks and in the hold of a ship whereby channels are provided in different sides of the elements for temporarily retaining ends of wall forming members.

Another object of the invention is to provide an improved method of forming grain carrying bins between bulkheads between decks and in the hold of a ship whereby greater quantities of bulk grain may be stored and carried therein.

A further object of the invention is to provide an improved method of forming dividing walls and partitions between the decks and in the hold of a ship whereby Wall forming elements may be readily removed and replaced without damaging the supporting members.

A still further object of the invention is to provide an improved method of dividing the hatches, the areas between the decks, particularly between the bulkheads and also in a hold of a ship whereby the cargo carrying areas of a ship are readily convertible to carrying different types of cargo wherein the dividing elements are of comparatively simple and economical construction.

With these and other objects and advantages in view the invention embodies a plurality of structural shapes particularly of H and channel formations whereby the shapes are adapted to receive the ends of boards or other material of which partitions are formed.

Other features and advantages of the invention will appear from the following description taken in connection with the drawings wherein:

The stay bolt or cable 68 with the turnbuckle therein, as illustrated in Figure 2, is used for bracing stanchions in the side walls of the bins and it will be understood that the eyes 67 are attached, preferably by welding, to side flanges of stanchions as indicated by the numeral 40 so that the guy wires, at cables or rods are attached to the stanchions at different points throughout the installation. Also, as illustrated in Fig. 13, the upper ends of the stanchions may be connected by clip angles 141 to deck plates 142, or other elements.

The stanchions may, therefore, be installed in the hatch between the decks, and the hold of a ship and as grain is dumped through the hatch 14 as shown in Fig. 1, the grain will ow into the different compartments of the bin and will also ow laterally to areas 143 and 144 between the decks.

With the stanchions and other framework in position the boards are installed with the ends extended into open channels of the stanchions, as illustrated in Figures 3 to 10 whereby dividing walls and partitions are provided to form bins throughout the hull of the ship.

As illustrated in Figure 1 the boards 10 are placed between the upper parts of the stanchions whereby open areas are provided below the boards. The stanchions are provided with stops such as bolts 145 which may be extended through the anges, so that the grain is free to ow below the dividing walls at the sides and into open areas in the hold.

It will be understood that the arrangement of dividing walls and partitions for the supporting stanchions, particularly as illustrated in Fig. 2, is only typical, as different arrangements of the parts are required for each section of the ship between the bulkheads, and the stanchions and boards may be re-grouped to form bins of diierent shapes and sizes.

It will be understood that modications may be made in the design arrangement of the parts without departing from the spirit of the invention.

What is claimed is:

In a ship having walls and a bottom defining a hold, a plurality of removable planks, a plurality of main stanchions including an H-beam embodying a web in said hold, plates secured to said web and defining open channels for holding the ends of said planks, intermediate and end stanchions of H-shape having flanges defining open channels, corner stanchions having plates and anges providing open channels, certain of said planks on the corner stanchions providing bins, stay wires having eyes and exible tension'members including means thereon for adjusting the length thereof eX- tending between the stanchions and the walls of the ship, said planks being placed between upper parts of the stanchions whereby open areas are provided below the planks, and removable means secured to the stanchions and restraining the planks above the bottom of the ship whereby passageways therebelow are provided and whereby the planks can be temporarily restrained from dropping.
